Description

Our focal point in Slovenia, Ministrstvo za delo, družino, socialne zadeve in enake možnosti, is organising a seminar dedicated to raising awareness of occupational safety and health (OSH) among students in vocational education, especially those training for professions in healthcare.

The event aims to increase understanding of the importance of OSH and to encourage the development of preventive thinking among young people entering the labour market. Participants explore topics like risk assessments, workplace ergonomics, manual handling of loads and musculoskeletal disorders.
